Just to follow on form the story I just posted I came across this news. I know its not game related but it backs up my first point.
Google announces plan to wean US off coal and oil - energy-fuels - 02 October 2008 - New Scientist Environment: "nternet search giant Google – sometimes criticised for the amount of energy its servers use – now aims to do for the power grid what it did for the web.
Having conquered the market for web search by first simplifying how it is done and then linking advertising to users' search terms, Google Inc is now funding green technology and using its brand power to lobby for policy change.
Google launched a plan on Wednesday to wean the US off burning coal and oil for power by 2030, and cut oil use for cars by 40%. That will cost the nation trillions of dollars, but Google believes it should ultimately save money."
